Abstract

An endoscope consists of a handle (25) supporting an end part (27) which is introduced into the oral cavity by means of a rigid tubular element (31). The tubular element (31) contains two coaxial bundles of optical fibres (37, 39) serving to illuminate the area to be inspected and to conduct image information to camera means (17, 21), respectively.
